Tamaki Maori Village

Share in the Powhiri, our ancient ceremony of welcome, before entering our pre-European Maori Village nestled in a native Tawa Forest. The village is alive with sights, sounds and activities of days gone by, including haka, poi, tattooing, weaving, carving and warrior training. You will even have the opportunity to participate! Witness earth being scraped away from the hangi pit to reveal baskets of food cooked beneath the ground on hot stones. Enter the ancestral meeting house and relax as our family entertains you; enjoy a powerful display of cultural performance, song and dance, including the spine-tingling haka finale! Join us in celebration, and dine on the hangi buffet feast, followed by dessert. All dietary requirements catered for. Free transfer to and from your Rotorua accommodation.
